cyclone aker.

I am very excited at the prospect of ex Western Bulldogs player Jason Akermanis having free reins to use that motor mouth of his and truly voice his own opinions in the media world. No longer tied to any contract or club obligations, he will give the afl public a non watered down outlook of the afl world.

I truly believe the Western Bulldogs, as a club, has left him out to dry. Big deal if he was releasing a book at the end of the year. The main issue that caused the Bulldogs to terminate his contract was the fact that there were RUMOURS circulating that aker dished out some dirt on 3 of his ex bulldogs team mates in ONE of the chapters. Now how many chapters are in a book?? Most often in excess of 10. So it seems that a minor non-confirmed piece of writing has brought an end to an illustrious career of a top football player. Disgraceful. And the instigator of the termination of the walking headline act was none other than Bulldogs captain, brad Johnson. He heard about what aker was up to and instead of doing the logical task of sitting down and chatting to aker about it, johnno went straight to the top dogs at the club and ranted to them about the situation. Surely if johnno asked aker first what was going on with the whole situation in spilling the beans about his team mates, aker would have given the reasoning behind it and maybe omit the incriminating evidence. But johnno decided enough was enough on his own accord and decided to get aker terminated.

Aker is a player that will be sorely missed by the Bulldogs come finals time. Especially when they make the top 4, which I expect them to considering Freo’s recent worrying non-purple patch of form (notice the pun. yeah im hilarious.) A player that oozes wealthy amounts of finals experience is surely an asset coming into the month of September. Or maybe the western bulldogs want to give their supporters another year of heartbreak because 40 years just isn’t enough. Fair enough that he hasn’t been in amazing form but a player of this calibre shouldn’t get dropped because they know how to step up when the game is on the line.
